  1. The ad says this truck was built in 1996 as a glider but it's never been titled or used so it's basically a new truck. I'm scratching my head wondering why someone would keep a glider kit around for 28 years. That V12 would be a beast of a motor, you'd have to mortgage your house to keep it in fuel and parts. https://www.ebay.com/itm/226520381739
  2. That flatbed has a little curve to it!
  3. That's the oil filter. I pulled the cover off mine and it has a pleated paper element inside (Wix 51954). The cover gasket is like $50 so I just reused my old gasket.
  4. That looks to be a small cam Cummins, my 335 doesn't have an aftercooler so that may be what you have. I used to work on big cam 290's back in the 80s, did they make a small cam 290?
  5. Bruce Wilson looks at a custom H67 on an Iveco chassis, with Dodge fenders. Interesting looking truck, looks like high quality work. Also a nice IH and Pete in the video.

    Mack A51

    A51 on FB. Looks to be all there, not too bad. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1117399313155640/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
  7. I like the Emeryville conventional because it's old, for nostalgia's sake. But it's one butt-ugly truck.
  8. That would be a cool truck, but with a 70 hp motor it's probably a real dog.
  9. Here's a big hole R model but as you can see they did extensive bodywork to the cab.
  10. Those rims are interchangeable on the hub, only difference is tube/tubeless. 20" rims look nice on a vintage truck but much harder to find and mount/demount tires. You definitely wouldn't want to put a lot of miles on a truck that has mixed tires like that.
  11. We have a lot of farmers here with R models and Superliners, but I haven't seen any military trucks! Pretty neat.
  12. Yours looks to be around 1-3/4", mine's only 1-1/2". Yours must be a heavier axle.
  13. My '79 GMC K2500 had an add-on fuel tank with no return. You had to make sure there was plenty of room in the factory tank when using the add-on or it would pump gas all over the ground.
  14. What is the diameter of the threads? I have some extras I could measure. Are your springs and cups good?
  15. You could pull the gauge line off where it comes off the turbo, crank the engine with the shutoff pulled and see if oil pumps out.
  16. If you do have a draw on the batteries, the regulator is the most common cause of that.
  17. Right, you have to make sure after soda blasting you wash it down good--just plain water does the job. If you don't, then the paint will peel.
  18. Geoff is right-when I used to work on Cummins, the 855s were over 3,000 lbs.
  19. That B model looks to have a Clariben fiberglass tilt nose, you don't see many of those on this side of the pond.
  20. Here's his obituary. https://www.sandhfuneralservice.com/obituary/Mike-Harbison
  21. We watched High Ballin last night (it's on Tubi right now). Not a real good movie but lots of old trucks so that part was fun. I'd like to know what motor was in the Iron Duke KW, it had a different sound (maybe just an unusual exhaust system). Of course, lots of Jerry Reed music so that part was great. It was filmed in Canada so lots of spread tandems and snow...one mistake is that they would show one scene with lots of snow on the ground, then in the next it was sunny and green.
  22. So if you disconnect the inlet line from the lift pump, do you get fuel there? That would tell you if the problem is in the lift pump or before it.
  23. I can honestly say I've never seen batteries like those before. The one on the left, that's wild how the fill ports are angled and caps are tied together.
  24. No gold watch?
